Keyword Stuffing because of the product names

[onurcan-ikiz]

Hi Moz community,

Since I have many products in most of my pages which have the targeted keyword in the product name I get the "Keyword Stuffing" error. Is it really considered as "Keyword Stuffing" by Google? In addition to the products, I have some texts containing the targeted keyword for the page and this makes the number of keywords used in a page even higher.

Thank you for your answers.

Hi onurcan-ikiz,

I think what the tool is getting at is trying to get you to think about the issue, which it sounds like you are.

Are these pages more like category pages? Do these pages have unique content that single product pages don't? Are you actually trying to rank these pages for some identified topic? Do these pages currently produce in organic search? Do these pages compete with other pages of yours over the same terms.

You are right to consider the difference between Google and Moz. Keyword stuffing is not a search felony like buying links. It's more like a clue about a possibly ineffective approach.

Best of Luck!

Hi,

Is there anything going on in Google that might lead you to think that there is a problem in this respect?

Remember that MOZ is going to report things for you to take a look at and much prefers to report this than gloss over it. This doesn't actually mean that there is a problem, just something you need to be aware of.

I have clients who have sites with lots of uses of the same word which can sound spammy if they are all close together, but if they are spread out and make sense to be there, then it won't be classed as stuffing. If your Title, H1 and content need this word in because it is needed to explain the page and product, then don't try and find ways to miss it out because chances are, you won't be penalised for it.

A little tip I have for content, is to have a text-->voice reader read it back to me. OK it is in a synthesized voice, but you can pick with your ears, what your eyes miss. It is a great aid to help you listen to how it really sounds.
